A Bzzzzzzzzzy fun Saturday...

Yesterday was a gorgeous day...perfect for a festival... so we headed for the Nani Mau Gardens and the 2014 Honey Festival...

Vendor Row - I was able to pick up a couple of little gift items...

Apiary products

Be a Bee Buddy!

A live big bee...

...and a livelier lil bee...in his own little world...

More honey products

A Hiccup Circus performance on the lawn

...and strollers enjoying the sun and the music at the gazebo...

Afterwards we stopped at the Prince Kuhio Mall where Anthony wanted to do a bit of Christmas shopping (after seeing something advertised in the newspaper...he was secretive about it, so maybe it was for me?)...I didn't ask and he didn't tell!

We stopped in the middle of the mall for a while to hear the Hawai'i Preparatory Academy - HPA - student Hand Bell Choir perform several holiday pieces, a fun rendition of Chopsticks and a moving version of HaTikvah ("The Hope"), the National Hymn of Israel... I hadn't taken my camera into the mall, so missed taking photos of the kids performing..

Walked around to check the Christmas shop at Macy's and passed where work is under way for the opening of Pier 1 sometime in 2015...(I wonder why they didn't push for a before Christmas opening? I heard about the store opening in Hilo way back in May...surely they could have... )

I saw a sign saying they welcomed job applications...I wonder if I could apply and say no need pay me in cash, will work for loot... ;-)

Going into the Holiday Season in Hilo is so much fun and quite exciting!
